Amazon.co.uk Review
First heard trying to calm Ol' Dirty Bastard on "Got Your Money" from his Nigga Please, 20-year-old Kelis now appears with her own album. Multi-threat production team the Neptunes turn the aptly named Kaleidoscope into the same kind of playground they provided for ODB, and even singing the masterminds' songs, Kelis quickly establishes it as her own hip-hop-wise R&B turf. Though it quickly gained attention for the ranting "Caught Out There" ("I hate you so much right now!"), the disc proves this unique singer equally as convincing in other complex moods, such as a comic take on romantic pain ("Game Show") and an offbeat memory of childhood ("Roller Rink"). More playful than Mary J. Blige, Kelis makes as strong a first impression--and, like Blige, shows every sign of sticking around. --Rickey Wright

Description
If the name Kelis doesn't instantly ring a bell, there's a good chance you've still heard her. For one, you may have heard her sweetly defiant voice singing "hey, I said hey, babyI got your money, dont'cha worry" on ODB's obnoxiously catchy hit "I Got Your Money". Then there's the voice all over the radio screaming "I hate you so much right now....aaaargh", which is also Kelis on the lead single from KALEIDOSCOPE, "Caught Out There". Think Mary J.Blige set slightly askew and injected with a touch of Billie Holiday and you can begin to imagine the sound of Kelis on her delightful debut.
Her greatest asset is her flexible, multipurpose voice, which shifts from smooth and sultry to a scream with swift efficiency on "Caught Out There", and can range from sweet and sensual on the trip-hoppy "Suspended" to singsong simplicity on "Game Show". On songs like "Game Show", she recalls Stevie Wonder in his '70s heyday with her ability to twist notes around hooks with expert precision--every vocal turn has its place and washes over your body as sweet as Ohio Player honey.Kelis introduces herself as a chanteuse to be reckoned withon KALEIDOSCOPE.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: This Is Good Stuff, 27 Jul 2000 By A Customer 'Caught Out There' may be the song that launched Kelis as a star, but it is far from being the standout track of this very promising debut release. The sexy groove of 'Good Stuff' and the quirky delight that is 'Roller Rink' both outdo the monster hit of earlier this year. But, for sure, the greatest song on the album is 'Mars', which will inevitably become a future R&B classic. Elsewhere on the album, Kelis's talents are not quite so sensational. 'Get Along With You', 'In The Morning' and 'Mafia' are good songs, but not in the league of the aforementioned. Overall, this is an impressive album that is certainly worth buying. There is clearly much more to Kelis than the gimmicky rant of 'Caught Out There'.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Every track on here is good. There are a few dodgy moments but Game show is a track which can only be taken in good humour. Mafia is one of the standout tracks of the album, it profiles kelis' vocal talents very well. mars is another of those brilliant tracks and for some reason my cd has become scratched on that particular track so i am actually willing to go and buy another copy because it is missing one track. Ghetto children is one of the more upbeat tracks on the album and if carried very well by the male vocalist who sings with kelis. all of the tracks on this album are great I reccomend all music fans to buy this.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I see that other reviews have singled out the odd track as rubbish or said that the album as a whole has some dodgy bits. This is just not true! Kelis and her production team are major talents and I only hope that this 20 year old can live up to this initial promise and that Kaleidoscope does not turn out to be some kind of aural "Citizen Kane"  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
